We did the 5 hour tour just hoping to catch whatever. The boat was easy to find and the captain wasn't there but pointed us to his crew. Irvin and Chino were very good guys and tried extremely hard to get us on the fish. The bite was slow at first but they kept trying and we eventually caught some skipjack tunas late in the day. They cut up one and made some delicious ceviche on board which was great and we all enjoyed. They then were nice enough to drop us off at a marina closer to our hotel so we didn't have to taxi as far back which was so nice of them and they didn't have to do it! All in all would have loved to catch a few more desirable fish species but they definitely tried and they just weren't biting. Glad to have at least caught something and the crew, boat, and day out of the water was great! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your detailed review, Mitch! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. We're glad to hear that Irvin and Chino took great care of you and kept working hard to get you on the fish, even with a slow bite—that's fishing sometimes, but we never stop trying! Awesome that you were able to land some skipjack tuna and enjoy fresh ceviche right on board, that's always a highlight. We're also happy you appreciated the extra effort to drop you off closer to your hotel—that's the kind of service we always aim to provide. Next time, we'll do our best to get you on some of those bigger, more desirable species! Thanks again for trusting us and we hope to have you back out on the water soon. Tight lines! 🎣
We had an excellent day with the crew of the Itzu today! We booked a combo 8hr fishing/Yelapa trip. We were 3 adults and our day consisted of fishing in the morning, going to Yelapa - waterfall hike (easy), drinks at the waterfall and then to the beach for lunch and relaxation. We choose not to snorkel and instead used that time to fish a little more in the a.m. Our Captain, Tuky and the first mate, Chuy were excellent hosts and guides. We managed to catch quite a few slip jacks and a Benito during our fishing portion ( we kept 2 that they filleted for us) and had an amazing whale watching experience that was incredible! The Itzu is very well equipped and in tip-top shape. Our visit to Yelapa was lots of fun and the meals we had at the beach restaurant were fantastic (one of our better meals in PV!) We would highly recommend this trip as it was laid back and well worth it!

It truly means a lot to us that you trusted us with your day on the water 🙌 We're very happy to hear you enjoyed the full experience — from the morning fishing to exploring beautiful Yelapa, the waterfall, beach time, and even the whale watching!

It was a pleasure having you onboard Itzu, and we hope to fish with you again in the future! Tight lines 🎣 — Jordan & Team Itzu Sport Fishing and Tours
Communication was on point from the time of booking. Arrived at the Marina and the captain was there to greet us. Beautiful clean boat, plenty of room to relax and enjoy a beer. Crevalle Jack were on the chew! Hard hitting fish that will send your reel screaming!! There was a flurry of small bonito too,but the jacks won the day. Also enjoyed the company of a variety of sea birds, whales and and a ocean sea turtle. Great for a buddies trip or the whole family!!
Thank you so much, Robert! 🙌🎣 We really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a detailed review. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we're stoked to hear you enjoyed the communication, the boat, and the overall experience.

Tight lines and cold beers! 🍻🌊 Captain Jordan Amaral Owner – Itzu Sport Fishing & Tours
We had a great experience with Itzu! Irvin & Chuey were excellent! Irvin made fresh ceviche from our catch on the boat and Chuey always had us in the right position to catch fish casting right on top of a feeding school of Crevalle Jack. The boat was in great condition and the sound system was awesome! We were able to Bluetooth our music. Chuey was always quick with a fresh beer from the cooler when needed. Make sure to bring your own beer or cocktails. We will definitely book them again!
Hi Anthony, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such an amazing review! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We're really happy to hear you had a fantastic day on the water with us.
